UNIFIED DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR SCIENTIFIC AND SCIENTIFIC-TECHNICAL INTERACTION OF RESEARCHERS

РУССКИЙ

The information system “Unified Digital Platform for Scientific and Scientific-Technical Interaction of Researchers” (hereinafter referred to as UDP) has been created and is actively developing.

UDP was put into operation by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia dated August 15, 2022 № 776 and is located on the Internet information and communication network at the address: https://sciencenet.ru.

Note: In our opinion, for the first time in Russia, a serious information resource is being created at the federal level, which will accumulate arrays of information about all scientists, with the possibility of interactive acquaintance with their works.

In fact, an open database of scientific research in various areas of science is being created. To date, the only serious source of scientific research is the scientific electronic library. However, when using it, in most cases, a fee is charged for familiarization with the materials.

The owners of the new resource (UDP) will receive excellent statistics on the number of scientists and publications, including those in various fields of science.

Of course, the correct operation (management) of this resource will bring money. However, it is very important that the created platform does not subsequently become commercial, and the proposed functionality is paid. Although, most likely, it will be so. It is the matter of time. We are not interested in the question of who it was created for, who actually administers it and will receive income. Everything has its price.

The positive aspect of the creation of the UDP, in our opinion, is that the correct use of this resource will allow the authorized bodies in the field of education and science to separate pseudo-researchers who apply for state grants and research funding. It is no secret that significant resources are allocated for research works from the state budget. It will be a great achievement if the created system allows you to create an electronic twin (scientist profile), on the basis of which you can decide on the suitability of the research group for receiving a grant, conducting research and subsequent conclusion of a contract.

As a suggestion, the authors of this system can be recommended to create a free anti-plagiarism checking system based on the UDP, available to all researchers.

In order to popularize our results of scientific research, we have already been registered on this information resource. The most time-consuming process is filling out forms for each study (scientific article, monograph). And if this process creates a positive digital scientific profile of the author, then we only welcome this procedure.

 

Additional Information:

The UDP has implemented a number of tools based on digital technologies:

1) built-in tools for monitoring the implementation of projects and automated generation of reports according to unified requirements to reduce labor costs for reporting;

2) to form a digital profile of the researcher;

3) providing a single entry point for searching, submitting applications and booking scientific infrastructure;

4) realizing the functions of monitoring the load of the scientific infrastructure of service maintenance.

Registration of scientists (researchers) in the system is carried out using the Federal State Information System “Unified Identification and Authentication System in the Infrastructure Providing Information and Technological Interaction of Information Systems Used to Provide State and Municipal Services in Electronic Form”.

The mission of the platform is to create a single window for access by both scientific organizations and personal researchers to various services in the field of science, including information systems of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

  For researchers, this platform is:

  • Aggregator of information about announced grants and competitions
  • Possibility to apply for grants and competitions posted on the platform
  • Personal account for storing information about publications and other essential profile parameters
  • Reducing the complexity of reporting due to the pre-filling of reports and the constant filling of the digital profile of the researcher
  • Search for researchers by profile, showing your own profile to other researchers, commercial organizations and foundations
  • Opportunity to form and present to the public your own scientific project and its team

  For scientific organizations it is:

  • Accounting for research profiles of all employees of the organization in one place
  • Transparency of the process of preparing applications for grants and competitions posted on the platform
  • Accounting for scientific topics of all employees in one place
  • Reduced administrative burden
